Additionally, He is a pretty healthy kid and happy most of the time.
Are you connected to any support groups? He sounds like a delightful child from the way you describe him. But, you have challenges!
Who diagnose a developmental delay for your son. For a couple of years we were told my son had developmetal delays, he has other medical issues that were believed to be causing his developmental delays. Last week he was diagnosed with Autism.
The descriotion of your son sounds very similar to mine in many regards, I think there are enough red flags from what you describe to warrent testing you son for Autism, ask your son's pediatrician if he can be refered to a complex development specialist for testing.
Best wishes to you.
It was Childfind, which diagnosed my son. As per your suggestion, I will talk to the pediatrician.
Right now, developmental delay is about the only thing they can say about a child of that age. Any autism diagnosis take at about 3 years or older. My daughter diagnosis gradually unfolded in that way. Also at this point at 28 moinths the therepies and treatments are pretty much the same. As he gets 3 years or more then, the developmental diagnoses get more and more specific.
